10/10 Which OS will run best on a K6-2 400MHz, 128meg ram, 4gig hard
drive laptop: NT4, Win2k, or WinXP? My software requires NTFS.
\_ try double your ram
\_ reply hazy ask again later
\_ Someone says for machines with 128MB RAM or more, XP actually
manages memory better than NT. Don't know if it's true or not.
I have Celeron 400 128MB RAM running NT, and I also wonder which
of 95/98/ME/NT/2K/XP will have the best performance on such a
machine.
\_ probably nt4. i had a k6-2 350 with 128MB and xp was quite slow.
2k was bearable, but not exactly speedy. it ran 98 a long time
ago, and that ran pretty well. obviously, all else being equal,
the os that does less bookkeeping and uses less memory is going
to be faster.
\_ Win98 with NTFS drivers off the net.
\_ Probably NT4. I certainly wouldn't run 2K or XP without >128 MB ram. |
